Best vacation rental courses
I am looking to expand my portfolio and add some vacation rentals. I'm extremely busy with my land flipping business and am happy to pay for a course or coaching to decrease the learning curve for STR (short term rentals). Who has taken a STR course or a vacation rental course and found it to be actionable and complete? I'm already familiar with residential buy and hold real estate but I could use a crash course on the STR nuances and a community of people doing deals to bounce ideas and questions off of.
I plan to start doing research in the markets where we vacation since we're already familiar with them (Lake Tahoe, Mendocino, Santa Cruz, New Jersey)
Any advice is appreciated!
